Aybike with Turkish suffixes

Turkish adds case endings where English uses prepositions. With a personal name the ending is separated by anapostrophe (Aybike'ye, Aybike'nin), but it is still pronounced as one word. The apostrophe only marks where the name ends; the suffix itself follows the usual rules.

The last vowel of Aybike is e, a front unrounded vowel. So two-way suffixes take e and four-way suffixes takei (vowel harmony):Aybike'de, Aybike'yi.

Because Aybike ends in a vowel, a buffer letter keeps two vowels apart:y in Aybike'yi, Aybike'ye and Aybike'yle, and n in the genitive Aybike'nin.
